Morning Star.png Syria: Army moves to lift air base siege Meanwhile USA bombs Aleppo's power supply The Morning Star, London, 20 October 2015 Syrian government forces have captured the village of Bkayze and are advancing with Russian air assistance toward the Kweiras air base besieged by Islamic State (Isis), a military official reported yesterday. Bkayze is in Aleppo province, about four miles from the air base, which has been under siege since 2014. Since Russian air strikes began on September 30, co-ordinated with the Syrian military, troops have been on the offensive on several fronts in an attempt to secure supply routes and regain control of strategic areas. In contrast to Moscow's role, Damascus complained at the weekend of a "blatant violation of international law" when warplanes of the US-led alliance violated Syrian airspace and attacked a power station supplying Aleppo city.
